Associate Director / Technical Director -
Climate Change and Sustainability
Air Quality Consultants Ltd

Location: Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, London or Warrington

Role Location

We are seeking an experienced Associate Director or Technical Director specialising in carbon, climate
change and sustainability to join our growing climate change team at our Bristol, London, Warrington,
Leeds or Brighton offices, with the flexibility of hybrid working arrangements. While our preference is for
full-time candidates, we are open to discussing part-time working options for the right applicant.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced consultant looking to play a leading role in helping to
manage our existing team, deliver our planning focussed carbon and climate change work, whilst helping
to expand our wider climate and sustainability advisory services across both the public and private sectors.

The Company

Logika Group is a leading independent environmental consultancy, underpinned by a growing team of
experts in environmental policy, strategy, design, and assessment.

With offices in London, Bristol, Warrington, Brighton, Leeds and Belgium, Logika Group comprises four
specialist sister companies: Logika Consultants, Air Quality Consultants, Noise Consultants, and Logika
Europe.

Over the last 30+ years, we have achieved sustained growth and honed our provision of high-quality
services, while securing a large volume of repeat business from satisfied clients. We were recognised as a
‘top 25 leading player’ in UK Environmental and Sustainability Consulting by Environmental Analyst.

We pride ourselves on being able to:

Employ the best people to provide the highest quality advice
Provide a personal service
Deliver meaningful work to a high technical standard, which protects and improves the environment
Design innovative cross-disciplinary solutions

With a proven track record of success, Logika Group has been involved with UK Government expert groups
and European Commission working groups, provided expert evidence at Public Inquiries, and helped clients
gain planning consent for thousands of projects.

Logika Group is underpinned by our values of Community, Collaboration and Integrity – developed by our
staff members to reflect our shared principles, approach to our work, and positive company culture.

The Role

We are looking for an ambitious and technically excellent individual to contribute to leadership and help
continue to grow and diversify the services of our carbon and climate change team.

The core of our work focusses on the assessment of carbon (greenhouse gas) and climate change impacts
of projects in a wide range of sectors including renewable energy, transport, infrastructure, industry and
property (both residential and commercial). We work with developers, designers, engineers and planners
to ensure each new development minimises its greenhouse emissions, supports the transition to Net Zero
and is resilient and adaptable to future climate change impacts. We assess carbon and climate change
impacts as part of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for development projects including major
Development Consent Order (DCO) schemes. As a significant proportion of our work involves preparing
greenhouse gas and climate change risk and resilience assessments as part of the EIA process, experience
leading and delivering these assessments will be central to this role.

However, alongside our established EIA focussed work, we are continuing to grow and diversify our broader
climate change and sustainability advisory services by utilising our technical expertise to support clients in
other ways, including delivery of:

Net Zero carbon roadmaps and decarbonisation strategies

Corporate greenhouse gas inventories and carbon management plans

Climate-related risk and opportunity assessments

Climate adaptation and resilience planning

Sustainability and ESG strategies

Whole life carbon and embodied carbon assessments

Circular economy assessments

Carbon reduction pathways and implementation plans

Technical interpretation of climate policy and emerging regulation.

The successful candidate will provide leadership to a range of on-going carbon and climate change projects.
You will have a client-facing role with responsibility in terms of managing project teams and project
delivery. You will lead and contribute to the development of proposals for new work. The role will be
tailored depending on the successful candidate’s specific experience, but it can be expected to include
involvement in some of the following activities: support for business development, developing new service
areas, development of tools and templates, working collaboratively with Logika’s Environmental Policy and
Economics team and training and staff management.

This is an exceptional opportunity at an exciting time both for our business and for environmental

consultancy. With us, you will be involved at the heart of the team and will play a key role in the

delivery of our work. You will work in a friendly, supportive and collaborative environment.

Core skills and experience we are looking for

We are seeking the following core skills and experience, or closely comparable experience and skills:

An excellent understanding of UK climate change and planning legislation and policy

Experience in the technical management or leadership of GHG and climate change assessments as

part of EIA (DCO experience is valued, but not essential)

Experience in drafting Environmental Statement chapters and technical reports

Leading delivery of climate risk, adaptation and resilience studies

Supporting development of corporate Net Zero, decarbonisation and sustainability strategies

Track-record in the consultancy sector

Identifying opportunities to expand our climate and sustainability services

Excellent communication skills and ability to write clear and concise reports in English

Experience of engaging with a wide variety of stakeholder groups

Experience of financial control and project management

Line management or close oversight of junior members of a team

Experience of bid preparation and business development activities

High technical capability and ability to review and interpret data

Collaborative working capabilities

A track record with thought leadership or strategic advice

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical capability with commercial awareness and a
passion for helping clients respond to the climate challenge.

You'll be comfortable working with clients, leading multidisciplinary teams and identifying opportunities
to develop new services. You'll enjoy mentoring colleagues, building lasting client relationships and
contributing to the continued growth of our climate change team.

As a senior member of the team, you'll help shape innovative solutions that support both sustainable
development and the UK's transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.

What we offer

We are a growing Group of companies that wants to do things differently, with an exciting future
that will help you shape and realise your ambitions. You will have a great opportunity to work with a

talented and dedicated team and be able to develop your career as the company grows.

Alongside a competitive salary, we offer a range of formal benefits and training and development
programmes to enhance employee satisfaction and professional development. These include, enhanced
pension scheme, private medical insurance, competitive annual leave entitlement which grows with length
of service, additional annual leave purchase scheme, rail and bus season ticket loans, cycle scheme, group
life assurance, staff training and CPD programme, employee recognition awards, social value programme
and more.

Furthermore, we ensure we can support our employees through offering wellbeing programmes and
policies that support individuals. These include flexible working, trained mental health first aiders and
readily available support through our Employee Assistance programme.
